Hello everyone, today I have a crochet mitten pattern for a toddler! Winter is finally here and my girls have been needing some new mittens this year. 

I ran out to our local Walmart, and seriously, I think everyone has a kid the same size or age as mine because I could not find ANY in the size I needed. It was either 24 months and under or adult mittens. Aghhh! 

So I thought maybe I could crochet my girls a pair of simple mittens with some of Yarn Bee’s Soft Secret yarn. 

I think these turned out pretty great, and they fit perfectly since I was able to size their hands myself!

These simple crochet mittens should fit ages 2-4 years of age. You can easily adjust this pattern if you’d like however. If you need a smaller size, skip round 3 and continue on, keeping in mind your stitch count will be a tad less. If you need a larger size, add another round of increases by continuing to place 2 hdc in one st and 2 in the next 2 stitches after round 3.

You can also make the cuff length as long as you want (and to be honest, it might be better to make it a little bit longer, especially if you’re like me and have kiddos that ask for help putting their mittens back on frequently). 

These mittens fit both of my girls who are 2 and 4 years of age. Their hand width measured 5-5.25 inches and their hand length measured 4-4.25 inches.

Now, these mittens are soft and warm, but they are not made for playing in the snow. I honestly don’t recommend letting your kids wear crochet mittens for snow play, even if it’s really thick, bulky yarn. It just gets wet and soggy and your child will probably not have a very good time. 

Again, I’m using Yarn Bee Soft Secret in Ivory yarn for these mittens. This yarn is technically a 4 – medium weight, but I think it feels a little smaller and lighter than that, which is why I’m using a 4.25 mm crochet hook instead of a 5 mm crochet hook. It’s also 100% acrylic, but it’s incredibly soft, so it’s great for those little toddler hands!
